Rentre dedans
There is an elephant in your
apartment. He is oblong,
he is taking more space
than he needs. His trunk
is sopping water from
a sink full of bubbles.
His tusk is prodding
me from between
the banister. You have
to move. But how are you going
to get this elephant in your car? Look,
since as long as he can remember,
this elephant has wanted to be
smaller, like a calf or large
pig, the kind of animal
who can fit in a tea cup
when he is born. You can
not stuff an elephant, not
this elephant, into your car.
Every wrinkle that does not fit
cuts him to the quick. The older
the car, the less likely the elephant
will want to ride in it. You try
everything. You sprinkle
peanuts on the seats, but
this is not enough to get him
in. It is still four walls and a roof.
